Wow, those things really suck.

I'm not all that impressed with any of the Fast-Action Battlers.

If Barricade actually has a giant yo-yo of death in the film I for one will be ecstatic.

Rygar FTW. But yeah, these aren't that impressive, understandably so.

Alot of the other FABs we've seen were really cool, like Jazz, Ironhide and Brawl... I wonder why Barricade and Bumblebee look so 'meh' to me, I would think cars would be even easier to make cool FABs out of.

What are Fast Action Battlers in the first place? You push a button and they pop open into robots?

They get worse as they get smaller! More of my money saved.

Looks like the FAB's are going to be easier to transform version of the movie toys...probably aimed at a younger audience who dont have the hand-eye coordination to change the deluxes and above. Kinda like those "cute" preschool transformers they had a shilwe back, only not quite as childish looking. I may pass on them, unless I come into a large amount of money in the near future....or they go on clearance.

Bumblebee doesnt look to bad but barricade looks weird.Ill have to see it in person.

Bumblebee, we've already seen.

Barricade? I dunno why, but I like it. It's quirky, but not in a bad way.

I like both of these, but the again I perfer the FABs over the regular versions.

BB looks better painted, and maybe it's just me, but look at Barricades face. I wonder why he looks so sad?

by **Jaz-Zen** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:01 pm

Why all the hate on FAB BB? Barricade I understand; this is the 2nd ugliest version of Barricade (legends being the ugliest), but I think BB looks really good. And the head, being flat in the back and having to pull it up to see the face, REALLY reminds me of G1 BB, which is cool, IMO.
